Resolving how nanoparticles come together is important for industry and environmental remediation. New work predicts nanoparticle aggregation behavior across a wide range of scales for the first time.

A novel electrode functionalization strategy enables efficient removal of toxic heavy metals from wastewater.

1-propanol converts from a monomer into a trimer at aluminum sites within zeolite pores.

Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere. Soil is a massive reservoir of carbon, holding three times the amount of carbon than in the atmosphere.

Researchers designed a new, highly efficient, stable redox-active material from neutral red dye that can efficiently capture CO2 from air.

PNNL researchers are key contributors to GAO report

Metabolism metrics provide information about biological activity and carbon cycling in rivers. Conditions in large rivers differ from smaller rivers and require adjustments to existing methods.

Scientists developed a process (or pipeline) that combined molecular probes—a specific chemical that binds to microbes carrying out a particular function—with a method that isolated these cells from their complex community.

Surface composition can control the electronic properties of buried interfaces.

High fidelity simulations enabled by high-performance computing will allow for unprecedented predictive power of molecular level processes that are not amenable to experimental measurement.

A poem inspired by radioactive tank waste—“Can a Scientist Dream it Alone?”—was awarded first place in the Department of Energy’s Poetry of Science Art Contest.

The first study modeling the mechanism of hydrated electron formation from aqueous iodide.

A suite of experiments provide insight into how diopside reacts with carbon dioxide to form stable carbonate species.

PNNL is honoring its postdoctoral researchers as part of the fourteenth annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week with seven profiles of postdocs from around the Laboratory.

The diversity and function of organic matter in rivers at a large scale are influenced by factors, such as the types of vegetation covering the land, the energy characteristics, and the breakdown potential of the molecules.

PNNL chemists investigate the performance of ion exchange resins for subsurface remediation of uranium, technetium, and chromium.

New research reveals enhanced CO2 transport across a polyether ether ketone membrane and water-lean solvent interface

Studying single crystal reactions provides molecular-level insight into catalytic processes.

Simulations show an amorphous intermediate that allows impurities to incorporate into crystallizing calcium carbonate.

Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory created and embedded a physics-informed deep neural network that can learn as it processes data.
